Nearly four railed of the sewers intended for the interception of the western district drainage had been completed at a cost of about £.53,000. Three out of four of the compartments of the northern outfall reservoir were now completed, and con stoutly received the sewage brought down from the high and middle level sewers, and discharged such sewage into the Thames at Barking at the ebb tide only. The fourth compartment, the embankment over the whole reservoir, and the sluice-house would shortly be completed. The value of the work here executed amounted to about £164,500. About four miles of the southern low sewer had been com pleted at the estimated cost of £121,000, and under the contract for the works at Crossness work to the amount of £225,000 had been executed. On the first contract for the Thames Embankment (between Westminster and Waterloo bridges) work to the amount of £33,000 had been executed ; but on the second contract (from Waterloo-bridge to the eastern end of Temple. gardens) the work had not been altogether of so satisfactory a nature, and it would be neces sary in some respects to adopt a new system in carrying out the work.

Yesterday evening the 90th anniversary festival of this society, one of the oldest as it certainly is one of the most valuable of all our London charities, was held at the Free masons' Tavern. The company was not numerous, owing perhaps to the fact that for the last two or three years the festivals of this society have been in abeyance, bat what they wanted in numbers was amply made up in zeal and earnestness, as the liberal donations at the close of the evening clearly showed. The chair was taken by Viscount Dufferin, who was supported by Sir Breok Brydges, M.P., Sir Wm. Fraser, Mr. Sheridan, M.P., Mr. Thomas Page, C.E., Mr. Donald Nichol], and ether friends of the society. The dinner was of a most excellent kind, and, what is more rare at these public entertainments, was admirably served. The report of the society which, at the conclusion of the repast, was distributed about the room, spoke most cheeringly as regards the usefulness of the society. Dur ing the past year 208 cases of resetting or attempted rescue from drowning were brought under their notice, comprising 262 persons ; of these 246 were successfully treated, but 16 were, unfortunately, beyond recovery when y had also in the sam e p er i o d co taken out of the water- 16 of the number were cases of attempted suicide. those ie who were instrum en t a l t in saving life frem drowning the following rewards:— namely, 4 silver medals, 7 3 bronze medals, 9 thanks of the society on vellum, 73 thanks on parchment, and 69 pecu niary rewards of various amounts. In the past summer e and no lees than 255,142 persons were estimated to have bathed in the Serpentine River during the hours appointed for morning and evening bathing. It was not surprising that 36 casualties should have occurred out of so large a number of bathers ; but it was satisfactory to state that, awing to the attention of the society's men, not one had proved fatal. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been given and received in the usual cordial manner, the noble chair man gave the toast of the evening. He said that nearly a. century had elapsed since they first entered into their con flict with the powers of the grave, and dared to dispute with. the Angel of Death the spoils he had already counted as his own. Each successive year had enabled them to inscribe fresh victories on their rolls, though others had been un doubtedly engaged in analogous efforts. The advance of science, the spread of civilisation, had done much to pre serve the world from the inroads of disease. The citadel of human life was better guarded now than formerly; but the utmost that either science or civilisation dare to pretend to was a defensive attitude. To them alone had it been given to carry the war into the enemy's country, and annex a pro vines of his empire, to penetrate beyond the mysterious frontier which separated them from eternity, and restore to the kindly light of day and the pleasant love of friends those who had already tasted of the bitterness of death, whose eyes had passed into the dim borderland beyond the grave, whose feet had wended one stage on that journey not to be retravelled by mortal man. He called upon them therefore in all earnestness to drink success to the Royal Humane Society, than which he did not believe there was a more valuable association existing. The toast was drunk with all the honours, and at the close of the evening the secretary announced a list of dona tions amounting to £3OO. After this toast was drunk the Chairman had the pleasure of presenting to Mr Donald Nicoll the medal of the society for his gallant and most desperate effort last February to save the lives of three persons who had broken through the ice on the lake at Hampstead, and who were fast drowning till he came to their assistance. At the most eminent peril of his own life Mr Nicoll succeeded in saving two, but the third person, a lad, sank under the ice before he could reach him. The award of this medal to Mr Nicoll was greeted with immense applause. .~ . ,N KW S PA_P E I"'S etair ::4 r acs as . Yesterday the anniversary meeting lamysa r. „ : 7- tution, of which the Q uee n is patron, - terlVAsa-a`W a e in the theatre of the United Service Instithiiona S Whitehall—the Duke of Marlborough, president of" the society, in the chair. The Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot was present and took part in the proceedings, with several naval officers of high rank. The principal objects of the society are—first, to board, lodge, clothe, and forward to their homes! or to their nearest consuls, if foreigners, all wrecked seamen, soldiers, or other poor persons of all na tions cast destitute upon the coasts; secendly, to assist seamen, whether of the Royal navy or merchant service, fishermen, coaelguardmen, pilots, boatmen, and apprentices, to replace their clothes, boats, &c., when lost by storm or other accidents of the sea, and to relieve their widows, orphans, and aged parents. Its operations embrace every part of the coasts of the United Kingdom, affording by moans of upnerds of 700 honorary agents, succour in the hour of distress to eaves shipwrecked per son east upon the coast: The noble chairman, in au opening address, said that during the p as t year, which had been one of great disaster at see, 1,949 vessels had been wtecked on the coasts of these islands, a fact that would efferd some idea. of the amount of human suffering which this insti tution sought to relieve. 'Whenever occasion arose, he said, its agents and emissaries presented them selves with outstretched arms to receive the poor sufferers whom the ocean cast on shore, to protect and console them, and afterwards to forward them to their homes. This year the number of cases the society had relieved had been unusually large, and it had been in consequence, compelled to draw to a certain extent on its invested capital. Since its establishment in 1839 the beneficent objects of the society had been gradually extending, and when it was afterwards incorporated by act of Par liament powers were given to its executive commit tee to found in connection with it an institution long urgently needed for the mercantile marine of England, whenever a fitting opportunity offered, and similar in its objects to Chelsea and Greenwich Hospitals. The number of seamen employed in the mercantile marine of this country was estimated at a quarter of a million, but until now there had been no home or refuge to which aged and disabled sailors could resort to spend their last days in com parative comfort. He was happy to think that the disgrace to the country which the long continued want of such an institution implied was about to be wiped out. Since their last annual meeting the house and grounds at Belvedere-on-Thames, which belonged to the late Sir Calling Eardley, had been purchased by the society on reasonable terms, and there they contemplated the establishment of a home for wornout and disabled seamen. They had also, during the past year, established a provident fund, to which seamen were at liberty to contribute, and from which the managing committee anticipated great advantages to all who might avail themselves of it as a means of providing against the necessities of age. The secretary then read a report for the last year, from which it appeared that, besides the loss of the 1,949 vessels on the coasts of the United Kingdom, the wrecks is the colonies had been ex traordinarily great, and the attendant loss of life beyond all precedent. The gross income of the society in the year had been £16,308, or less than that of the previous year by £1,427. The mariners and fishermen subscribing vo luntarily 3s. a year numbered '50,040, of whom 2,142 had been added since the last annual meeting, The flag of the society continued to be carried by a large number of vessels, and served to maintain an esprit de corps among its maritime members. The shipwrecks continued to increase with the increase of tonnage employed, and the loss of life had been this year unprecedented. Shipwrecked persons to the number of 6,544 had been boarded, lodged, clothed, when necessary, and sent to their homes during the year, among whom were the crews of vessels belonging to other nations. Of widows, or phans, and aged parents 3,764 had been relieved, but were considered fit objects for an annual grant for a few years. In 1863, 10,308 persons were re lieved in all, making a total since the institution of the society in 1839 of 131,200. Since 1851, the year it commenced giving rewards, the committee had awarded 30 gold and 158 silver medals, and nearly , £BOO in pecuniary rewards, besides various testi monials for heroic exertions in assisting at the saving of 4 863 lives from shipwreck. The committee re ferred with expressions of regret to the decease during the year of Admiral Sir Henry Hope, their chairman tor many years; of the Earl of Aberdeen, who for several years served on the committee ; and of Sir R. Plumptre Glyn, a most liberal benefactor of the institution. The Shipwrecked Mariners' p m g4 (tom, 51 - 1 it h 4 • The claims of the society on public support were eloquently urged by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Mr. G. A. Brograve, Mr. Oliphant Fergusson, Mr. Lydall, Dr. Sparke, R.N., Admiral Hall, and Captain the Hon. Francis Maude, R.N. A resolution was unanimously adopted recording the continued success of the society in relieving human suffering under the harrowing circumstances attendant on shipwreck, and the meeting pledged itself to renewed exertions hi carrying on so benefi. cent and patriotic a work. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to his Grace the chairman for his courtesy in presiding on the occasion, and with that the meeting terminated. Railway and Public Companies in Parliament, Yesterday the bill for conferring on the North London Railway Company additional powers in re. spect of their works and capital was passed in the committee on metropolitan railways) and the clauses of the London and Blackwell Company's Bill were settled, The further consideration of the Ilfracombe Railway Cop.'s bill was adjourned until Monday, and Mr. Kerslake stated the case of the proposed Launceston, Bodmin, and Wadebridge Junction Railway, which seeks incorporation with a capital of £250,000 in shares and £85,000 by loan, for the construction of a line of 21 miles from a junction at L aunceston, with the a u th or i se d line of the Launces ton and S ou th D evon, pass i ng b y Camelford to a junction with the northern branch of the Bodmin. and Wadebridge Railwayat its northern termination at St. Breward.

The weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday in the offices in Spring-gardens, the chairman, Mr J. Thwaites presiding. The CHAIRMAN informed the board that the committee of the House of Commons had struck out of the Subways Bill the clause giving the board the compulsory power it had sought over the ga s c ompanies, and he wished to know whether or not the bill should now be proceeded with. He said the committee had agreed to give the board power over the water and telegraph c ompanies, but, as the gas companies obstructed the streets more than the others, the great purpose of the bill would be lost, and it would be better, in his opinion, to withdraw the measure and wait for public opinion to ripen upon the subject than to proceed further this session, Mr TOTE, M,P., regretted that the committee of the House of Commons had struck the g as companiesot of the bill and said that he was sure it wound be advan tageous to the companies to lay their , pipes th w e ey subwa s as the rent the companies would be charged would be l y ess , than the expense of taking up an d rola in the thorough fares, and the pipes would not be so liable yg to breakage in the subways as in the earth. The cost of the subways was paidc o m t r ei n r ie e s ea h ts ad in s t p h e e n teuibnw.oaypa about £15,000 a mile, and the rent the companies would have been required to pay would have been £4 per cent on a y v t e he my., moved that the bill should be p that os op posing outlay. . bill for ten years to come. The SOLICITOR then read the bill as altered, and asked for instructions. T Mr. MILLER, j2e would m en h e pro ceeded with, and said he should advi se th e b oard to as k for compulsory powe rs with regard to water and telegraph companies, and permissive powers so far as concerned gas companies. " The subject, he contended, was an experi mental one, and if the board could show at some future time that the experiment had succeeded it would be entitled to ask Parliament to give it compulsory Powers over those companies that would not adopt the plan. Mr. HEALEY seconded t he motion. Mr. DOULTON, moved as an ame n d ment that the bill should not be proceeded with, and remarked th a t th e decision of the committee h ad been ar rived at on h ear i ng scientific evidence, which t he board would have rebutted had it been aware of the very strong opposition the bill was to meet. Mr. SAVAGE seconded this amendment, which,' on the suggestion of Mr. LOWMAN TAYLOR, was altered to read as follows :—" That, as the committee of the House of Commons have resolved that so much of the Subways Bill as relates to gas companies shall be struck out, the bill shall be withdrawn." Mr. Saunders, Mr. Freeman, Mr. Carpmael, Mr. Samuda and Mr. Roche further addressed the board on th e su b ject. In the course of the discussion it was stated that the companies did not so much object to putting their pipes in the subways as They did to pay i ng for the accommodation, and it was urged that if the board now withdrew the bill public attention would be awakened on th e su bj ect, and Parliament on some future occasion would be more dis posed to fall in with the views of the board. The amendment (that the bi ll be w ithdrawn) was car ried, there being—for, 24; against, 5. A deputation from the volunteer fire brigades of the me tropolis waited upon the board and presented a memorial urging that the board should propose clauses to be inserted in the proposed Fire Brigade Bill recognising the disinterested services of the volunteer brigades as auxiliary brigades to the one about to be constituted. Mr H. TAYLOR and Mr MILLER, 1\!.13., supported the memorial, which was referred to committee, A deputation from the inhabitants of Conatn ere id. roa d east waited upon the Board with a memorial calli ng atten tion to the entrance to the Connuercial-road. This road, the memorialists stated, was one of the finest in Lo n don, and leads to a thickly-populated district, and a district reusing much traffic, and yet the entrance to the thorough fare was only from 15 to 22 feet wide. The estimated ex pense of making an improvement here was £122,000, and the chairman remarked that he should like to know where the money was to come from. This memorial was also referred to committee. The chief engineer (Mr Bazalgette) presented his monthly report of the progress of the main drainage and northern Thames embankment works up to the present time, of which Beauregard's attack upon Butler, The New York Herald's correspondent gives a detailed account of Beauregard's attack upcn the Federal forces at Palmer's Creek on the 16th : The entire length of the rebel lines opened with artillery, and the shells were poured in upon our position in showers. A dense fog enveloped the country at the time, and both forces were wrapped in a misty veil. This was the condi tion of offairs when the rebels, massing their troops, took our right under General Hickman, enveloped its flank and took it in reverse. The first blow was dealt with terrific force. Gen. Hickman's brigade of the 18th corps holding the right was doubled up and forced back on the next bri gade, which was also thrown into some confusion. Our men did not observe the rebels until they had succeeded in passing a column between Hickman's right and the river, and then, taking him in front and rear, crushed him be tween the columns, and for a time created some confusion. Gen. Hickman made a gallant fight as long as he could, but the enemy came upon him so suddenly and with such over whelming numbers that successful resistance was quite im possible in the; darkness and confusion. Some of the bri gade were captured. After this operation, having forced back the right, a heavy attack was made on the entire line of the 18th corps, with feints along the 10th corps line, and the entire right was forced back some distance, after several hours of most severe and sanguinary struggle. T he battle raged with unexampled fury until nearly 12 o'clock, the rebels throwing heavy masses upon our lines, and finally forced it back nearly a quarter of a mile. Our men fought stubbornly, with few exceptions, and resisted every step, and repeatedly checked the rebel advance with terrible slaughter, but not without some loss on our side. The enemy numbered not less than 15,000, and pushed into the murderous fire with a recklessness and steadiness that are rarely seen, In the attack on our right we lost a gun or two and it is said some light pieces; but how many it is difficult to ascertain ; probably 4 will cover the loss in light pieces. Finally, after forcing the 19th corps back from its position, and regaining a portion of their first line of intrenchments, they massed their forces on the 10th corps to drive it back. They first hurled their column upon Turner's division, which held the right of the corps line, joining the 18th corps. They formed in a beautiful manner, and moved steadily on Barton's brigade on the right of Turner's divi sion, advancing as if on parade and not firing a single shot, waiting till they had reached a good distance for effective range. The brigade poured into their lines such a terrible fire that the line melted away, and the thinned and broken line, alter vainly endeavouring to advance in the storm of bullets, fled with terrible loss to the woods in their rear. The volleys were as continuous and heavy as the musketry of a brigade could be, and such as nothing living could stand against. The rebels were driven like chaff, and broke for the woods in a disorganised mass under their friendly cover. After great exertion the line of attack was again formed, and again a brigade advanced in splendid style against our lines. Again did they receive the terrible fire ; and pushed steadily on, until a fourth of them lay killed or wounded on the field, when they broke and rushed quickly to the cover of the woods ; our boys gave three hearty cheers and sect a volley after them, which told on them. After being twice bloodily repulsed at this point, they moved further to our left, and hurled a column upon Col. Howley's brigade, of Gen. Terry's division. They came up in the same steady and confident manner, but were met by a more rapid and equally deadly fire as they were treated to by Turner. They broke and ran for the woods, accelerated in their flight by the music of the spencer bullets about them, They were determined, however, to break our line and force it from its position, cost what it would. We again formed line and were strengthened by reinforcements. They charged again, and, after ten minutes' hot work, they were disastrously repulsed and driven back at all points. That ended any serious effort on their part to force our position, and, leaving their killed and wounded to the num. ber of 1,000 on the field before our line, they again massed upon General Smith's front, and attacked his left. General Gilmore immediately ordered General Turner to attack the enemy on their flank, and ordered General Terry to sup port him. Turner's attack was hardly commenced before General Gilmore was ordered by General Butler to retire and strengthen General Smith's corps by forming in his rear. Our troops fell back slowly and in order, repulsing every effort of the rebels to quicken their movements, and making a stand at every favourable position, until the enemy ceased to follow and fell back to their first line of entrenchments. General Gilmore then drew off his corps and formed to support General Smith. Tho fighting, 1 , Which had been going on with more or less violence along CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road, London.

The ambu lances with the wounded and the supply trains were de spatched to the rear, and finally the entire army fell back, the enemy hot pursuing. Thus ended this rebel attack on our lines. The same correspondent says of Katz' raid on the Richmond and Danville road, that he tore up seve ral miles of track, destroyed the rails and ties, and has blown up the iron bridge over the Appomattox river at Mattox Station. General Sheridan's forces again started on a raid round Richmond yesterday, the 15th. The cavalry wil; keep the railroad connection to Richmond out for a while. Another Herald correspondent says Butler's forces are safely in their intrenchments, and able to withstand an attack from all the forces the rebels can bring against them. The object of Butler in making his advance from City Point to Bermuda Hundred was to create a diversion in favour of Grant, and he was eminently successful. METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC. The following is a copy of the bill brought into the House of Commons by Alderman Salomons, Mr Locke, Mr Jackson, and Mr T. Mil'er, to facilitate the traffic of the metropolis by improving the com munications across the river Thames:— Whereas it will conduce greatly to the public advantage to facilitate the passage of traffic across the Thames within the metropolis, and with that view it is expedient that power should be given to the Metropolitan Board of Works to purchase any one or more of the bridges named in the sche dule annexed hereto; be it enacted by the Queen's most ex cellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons. in this pre sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :- 1. The Metropolitan Board of Works may purchase by agreement any one or more of the said scheduled bridges, and any bridge so purchased shall ever thereafter be open for public use free from toll. It shall be the duty of the said board to endeavour to purchase Southwark and Waterloo bridges before purchasing the said other bridges. 2. The company to whom any of the said bridges belong, if they are not otherwise authorised to sell the same, shall have power to sell and convey the same to the Metropolitan Board of Works, by a resolution passed at a meeting of the company specially summoned for the purpose, by a majority of two-thirds of the votes of the persons present at that meeting, and entitled to vote thereat. 3. For the purpose of defraying the expenses of the pur chase of any bridge in pursuance of this act the Metropoli tan Board of Works may levy a rate, to be called a bridge rate, not to exceed Id in the pound, until Jan. 1, ISB4, and such rate shall be levied in the same manner, from the same persons, and subject to the same conditions of appeal, and otherwise, as a main drainage rate. 4. The corporation of London shall contribute out of the Bridgehouse Estates Fund a sum of not less than £50,000 towards the purchase money of Southwark-bridge, and in levying any rate for the purposes of this act within the city of London or the liberties thereof allowances shall be made proportionate to the said contribution. 5. Southwark-bridge, when purchased, shall be main tained by the corporation of London out of the Bridgehiouse Estates Fund ; but any other bridge purchased by the Metro- Naftali Board of Works shall be maintained by that board out of the same funds as sewers within their jurisdiction: 'are now maintainable. 6. The term " bridge " shall include such approaches-to . and other appurtenances of a bridge as belong to the com pany owning the bridge itself, and "persons" shall include corporations. Charge of Conspiring to Defraud, At the Guildhall Police-court yesterday, John Maga rigle, having offices at Farringdon-road, and William Broughton, were summoned before Sir R. W. Carden, :for conspiring to defraud Edwin Groves of the sum of £3OO, Mr. Lewis appeared on the part of the prosecution ; Mr. Beard for Broughton ; and Mr. Buchanan for Magarigle. Broughton did not appear, and Mr Beard put in a me dical certificate, stating that he was incapacitated through " illness." It was admitted, however, that he was in town on 'Thursday for several hours conducting his ordinary basiuess. Mr Lewis, in opening the case, said that the defendant Magarigle was well known to the court, having been brought before it no less than three times, and always in connection with the most notorious gangs . of swindlers in London. He was known under several aliases, such as . Thompson, Smith, Barry, and Co., and was at the present time in connection with many other houses of the same description as the agency which had ensnared his client— one of which was carried on under the name of Vussal and Co., 37, Essex-street, Strand. Edwin Groves said—l live at Argyle-lodge, Upper Nor wood. In March last, in consequence of seeing an adver tisement in the newspapers, I went to No. 1, Farringdon road, when I saw the defendant, who calls himself an ad vertising and employment agent. I said I wanted a situa tion as traveller, clerk, or anything else that would suit me. He asked me if I had any capital to deposit as a guarantee for my honesty ? I told him no, and he then asked me for a fee of ss. for registering my name, and said he would write to me and let me know when he heard of a berth which would suit me. I paid the fee ; he then said that if I had any capital to invest as cash security, ho could soon get me a place, or words to that effect. Afterwards I had a letter from him, inclosing the address, consist ing of initials of a certain party who was said to be in want of a clerk ; the letter also said that if I did not obtain the situation I was to send the letter back to them, and my name should still remain on the list for the original fee which I had paid. I did not obtain any answer, and I then returned the letter as requested. In March last I went again to Magarigle's office and saw him. I then told him that I had £3OO which I had borrowed from my friends. In about two minutes he said that he was connected with a Mr Broughton in publishing a paper called the Sydenham Chronicle, and it would be just the thing for me. He also said he had invested £5OO of his own money in it, and he knew it was good. He informed me that Mr Broughton was preparing offices at Norwood, and had taken a house there for the house and estate agency business. The defendants gave Mr Broughton an excellent character; he said he was well known and respected by the clergy and gentry within ten miles round the neigh bourhood where he lived. He also said he had known Broughton for four or five months. He then proposed that I should meet him at his offices in order that he might take me to Sydenham, and introduce me to Broughton. I met him as requested oa the 24th of March, and the pro mised introduction took place. During the interview Magarigle left to visit a lady who wrote articles for the paper, and after driving about with Broughton in a pony chaise, I called for the defendant, and returned to town with him, paying him £5 as a deposit before leaving him, On the 31st of March I again called and saw Magarigle in company with Broughton. During that interview I paid the defendant £lOO on Broughton's account,and on the 14th April I went again and paid £2OO more, an agreement being entered into between myself, Magarigle and Broughton, guaranteeing me £l5O and;two-and-a-half per cent on the advertisements in the paper, and a further share according t o the profits. That agreement was only signed by Brough ton and myself. 1 was then advised to take a house at Norwood, and let it out so that I might live rent free. On the faith of the representations made to me 1. took a house, and married, but up to the present time I have had neither employment nor salary from Mr Broughton. He has often put me off with excuses as to the house he was going to take not being ready, but in fact he has no printing office at Norwood, nor any agency business, neither has he taken any house for the purpose of establishing one. 'When I remon , strated with him he told me that with the exception of £5 he had received nothing of the £3OO from Magarigle, who was not a proprietor of the Sydenhain Chronicle, and had not advanced any money to establish it. My salary was to have commenced on the 21st of April, but I have not applied for it, as there has been no work for me to do. On my say ing, when Magarigle and Broughton were at my house on Sunday last, that I was determined to have my £3OO on the Monday, an interview was proposed that day with a view to an amicable arrangement, but when the time arrived Broughton did not attend. Magarigle pretended great in dignation, and wrote a letter to Broughton, which he read to me, saying he was disgusted with him. I afterwards communicated with my solicitor. Another witness was then heard, from whom £5O had been obtained by similar means. Mr Lewis then asked for a remand, and Mr Buchanan applied for bail to be taken. Sir R. W. Carden decided on taking the d e fendant's own rec ogn i s ances in £3OO and two sure ties in £2 50 h 24 hours' notice of service. Mr Wm. Henry Robinson said hew , i nqu i r y department of Messrs Stubbs masocrhcoieufticlieerAkgionutohye.
